Sin City Spoke To My Soul
It’s rare that I watch a movie and actually develop an opinion about it or respond emotionally to it. Well, I saw Sin City a few days ago and I am totally ambivalent towards it. I’ll say right now that it gets a 5, and here’s why: …
Pirates of the carebean
You’ll be hearing sounds often in this film. The action is packed into nearly every partof this movie. Remember the sword fight between Depp and Bloom early in the first film. I found that to be the highlight of the fight scenes.You think I?m exaggerating? Not even close. Just …

Something’s Gotta Give Movie
What a fun movie!
As a woman of a certain age, I found “Something’s Gotta Give” spoke to me on many levels.
Jack Nicholson plays aging playboy Harry Sanborn who is dating famous playwright, Erica Barry’s (Diane Keaton) much younger daughter. The pressure of living up to his …
The Passion of the Christ (2004 film)
The first time I watched The Passion of the Christ I had to skip parts or at times close my eyes because the graphic torture of Jesus was just too much to handle. The more I watched it however, the more I came to realize the …

Twenty Bucks movie
How a twenty dollar bill travels from person to person in an american town is the whole plot of this film. A very interesting idea indeed, but it isn’t put to work in the way i would have hoped for. Instead of focusing on the characters the bill is …
Movie Shrek 3
I loved the first movie of Shrek, and my family and I watched over and over again. Too funny! WE also saw Shrek 2 and I thought that the movie was good, which is pretty crazy for a second. Usually second movies are not worth the money that you …

Prince of Persia (2010 Film)
My boyfriend and I went on a date one night to the movies to watch Prince of Persia. At first, I did not think that I would find the film interesting at all, since I knew that it was based on a video game. That was my first mistake. …
Bulletproof Monk (2003)
I don’t really get the whole basis of this movie. It goes too wide and gets way confusing the longer the movie progresses. Eve though it has a pretty straight forward and easy plot to follow, the direction of the whole movie has not been put together in a …
Bedtime Stories
I have been a fan of Walt Disney. It fascinates me to imagine and dream about fantasy. I grabbed a copy of Bedtime Stories and i eagerly played it on my dvd.
By anticipation we thought, and as the title suggests that its the typical story telling time …

Alien Vs. Predator: The First Movie
Being a huge Alien and Predator fan, I had always wanted to see if a crossover movie could actually work between these two powerhouses. I remember a few years ago, before the plans for the current first AVP movie, hearing about how there were plans to make such a …
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (movie 2004)
This is not the sequesl that we were all hoping and looking forward to seeing. What the hell happened is beyond my comprehension as the missed the target….way off. Taking into consideration where the last movie ended, the second installation did not pick up from that point as I …
Rush Hour
I am reviewing the movie, Rush Hour starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. In this first movie of the two, Chris plays Carter, a loudmouth, no nonsense, comedic cop. He uses his energy to track down drug lords and put them behind bars. He receives an assignment …
Taken (Movie)
This movie is an absolute fantastic one! It has a very simple plot which made me think it was too boring and way too ordinary, but when my friends and family urged me to watch this I finally did and was so awed with Liam Neeson here! The movie …
9 Songs movie
This movie revolves around a couple and a concert…and that’s basically the whole plot. Every other scene is from the couple in there room to the concert floor. The concert is relatively a boring one, but the scenes of the couple leave nothing to the imagination. Not a very …

Dead Like Me: Haunted
Dead Like Me: Haunted was the final regular episode for this science fiction series about grim reapers. It was Halloween, and it was actually one of their better episodes.

Capture of the green river killer

Venom Feature Film (2005)
I love horror movies but this one was a real dud. The horror parts were fine, the blood and gore looked believable and the death scenes were realistic and well acted. My main problem with this film is it lacked suspense and it was boring. Normally …
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle
“Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle” was supposed to be the sequel to the previous Charlie’s Angles movie “Charlie’s Angels” which was released in the year 2000. I found I liked the sequel much less than I liked the previous movie for very many reasons. One of those reasons was that …
The Flintstones
As far my concern it is one of the best classic cartoon series ever made by “Hannah-Barbara”. I am watching “The Flintstones” from my childhood, and till now I like to watch it. It is really different from any other carton show. It is a story about a stone …
A Cinderella Story
The story of Cinderella has been cloned so many times, successfully and not. This 2004 attempt offers a contemporary, high school version set in California. For Cinderella, we have Sam, who is a high school girl sneered at by the popular crowd and overworked by her evil step …
Passengers The Movie
This was the last movie that I have seen while I was in the Philippines. It was last November 23, 2008. I was with my fiance.
Passenger the movie is about a plane that crashed and a woman who is a therapist, played by Anne Hatheway …
Movie Bruno
Sachon Baron Cohen’s highly anticipated–highly controversial–new film “Bruno” follows the same vein as the 2006 hit “Borat.” Written by both Cohen and Anthony Hines, the movie relies entirely on its ability to shock its audience into laughter. For me, this was successful.
The movie is based on Cohen’s alternative personality …
Movie Sandlot
I am reviewing the movie, Sandlot. There’s this boy. He’s new in town. He doesn’t have any friends. Then one day he ventures out to the local baseball field and finds a group of boys. He can’t throw. When he tries to throw back a ball of theirs, …
A Kid in King Arthur’s Court
I have seen a book entitled “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” in my aunt’s library at her house which was written apparently by the author Mark Twain. However, I have never made an attempt to read the book so I am not sure if it is related …
Waking Up in Reno movie
Waking Up in Reno is a quirky movie that was released in 2002 after a long and oft-postponed opening. This is another movie that surprised me with all the difficulties of being released. It had a stellar cast, but for some reason, there were an abundance of …

Middle Men (movie)
While I don’t remember seeing the movie “Middle Men” advertise on television, after reading someone’s post about it on a blog about movies I decided to check it out for myself. I didn’t think that the movie was too bad at all in fact, and I thought it became …
Wubbzy’s Big Movie
My daughter loves the show Wow Wow Wubbzy so, when we were surfing our Netflix instant movies last night and came across Wubbzy’s big movie, she absolutely wanted to watch it.
It was OK but was kind of a disappointment too.
I’m not a huge fan of the show myself and …
The Right Stuff
I got a chance to watch a movie I haven’t seen in ages last night; The Right Stuff.
I don’t know if this is the best movie I have ever seen about the space program (I think Space Cowboys was better). But, it certainly gives a decent insight into the …
‘Star Trek Beyond’ 2016 movie
In 2009, Paramount decided to reboot the long running “Star Trek” franchise with a new series of movies that scrapped the previous continuity and showed us a younger, less experienced Enterprise crew.
The results were largely positive, though it had its detractors (especially those who had been life long “Trek” fans.) …
“Funny games” movie
Shocking, but very real movie - saturated with brutality so well known to us from many other images. This time, however, it is presented in a unique way. The director wanted not only to make another movie like his predecessors, but also realize some important things to us …
Idyllic …

A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives movie
A Perry Mason Mystery: The Case of the Wicked Wives is another one of those movies made when Raymond Burr wasn’t able to show up as the Mason character. Instead of just making it a non-Mason flick as I would have preferred, they turned the scripts into mysteries …

One of my daughter’s favorite all time movie is Finding Nemo. She was obsessed with Nemo for such a long time. I enjoyed watching this movie with her because it was a classic. Anything that is made by Disney or Disney Pixar is such a great …
Movie Hell Boy
Hell Boy with Ron Perlman and John Hurt.
This is another of those movies that brings life to a comic book personality, but it is more of an adventure than a satire. I did like this movie because it had a beginning, a middle, and …
SM Marikina Mall Digital Theater
I was blown away when I watched Up last weekend at the SM Marikina Cinema 1 Digital Theater. This was my first time in SM Marikina’s digital theater. I have never been too impressed with the theaters of the other SM malls because it has never been of particularly …
